Reminds me of the formation of the punk band Crass. They knew a guy who wanted to be in a band but couldn’t play an instrument so he just Rand his hand up and down the neck of a guitar while strumming the string. Eventually he developed a style that made the band what it was.

Didn’t think I’d see a comment about Crass on Reddit. Good lord I haven’t listened to them or Conflict in some time. Anarcho punk was great.

Someone mentioning Conflict on reddit, don't think I've ever seen them mentioned before.

Slaughter of Innocence was my top listened to song last year on Spotify. Message to Who was third.

Not even that into anarcho punk or punk itself these days, just learned of them a few years ago and was hooked.

I haven’t listened to them in a loooong time but this is really getting me excited about them hahah. I recommend Subhumans as well. Bit more of traditional punk but very similar.

Jim Morrison’s first live music experience was when a friend’s band needed to be a quintet so they gave Jim a guitar and ran a cable behind some gear.

The Beatles were asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world and the response was "Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles".

More than thirty years ago, I was watching an interview with Ringo on TV and he boasted, “I’m the greatest drummer in the world.”

Alone in the room, I immediately shot back “You’re not even the greatest drummer in the Beatles.”

I have since heard that (admittedly fairly obvious) retort attributed to a dozen celebrities.

There is no other way to acquire info on a band that was active 60 years or so ago dude except from other people talking about it. Are you mentally disabled? You think I can just hop in a time machine and buzz back to the 60s to see for myself?
